Office of Student Conduct
Mission and Goals

Mission

UC San Diego is dedicated to learning, teaching, and serving society through education, research, and public service. To foster the best possible working and learning environment, UCSD strives to maintain a climate of fairness, cooperation, and professionalism.

Supporting the university’s mission and distinctive college system, the Office of Student Conduct provides leadership for the student conduct process through its central coordinating, training, and advising role. We adhere to UCSD’s Principles of Community and work to administer a thorough, transparent, and fair student conduct process that encourages participation by the campus community while holding students accountable for their actions.

These principles are enhanced by partnering with the undergraduate colleges, the graduate and professionals schools, students, and the greater university community to promote learning opportunities for students found responsible for Student Conduct Code violations that help them become responsible and community-minded individuals.
